A beloved TV staple has gone too soon.

Anne Burrell, known for hosting Food Network series including Worst Cooks in America, died at her home June 17, according to People. She was 55.

“Anne was a beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother, and friend—her smile lit up every room she entered,” her family said in a statement to the publication. “Anne’s light radiated far beyond those she knew, touching millions across the world. Though she is no longer with us, her warmth, spirit, and boundless love remain eternal.”

Burrell is survived by her husband Stuart Claxton, her stepson Javier and her mother Marlene, as well as her siblings Jane and Ben and her nieces and nephew. No cause of death was given.

E! News has reached out to a rep for Burrell as well as The Food Network for comment but has not heard back.

The TV personality first appeared on the cable channel in 2005 as a sous chef for Mark Ladner on Iron Chef America, where she quickly emerged as a fan favorite. Three years later, she began hosting her own series Secrets of a Restaurant Chef, which earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Culinary Program in 2011.

And while her culinary expertise made her a star, Burrell insisted on keeping things light in the kitchen.

“I truly in my heart feel that your food knows how you're feeling when you cook it and it reacts accordingly,” she told Tasting Table in April. “I like to put happy and joy into my food, and it's not so serious. I teach the worst cooks in the world. I mean, you got to know how to do that. So, to me, I want to express to people, "Take the fear factor out of it and put the fun factor in.”
